This is a tough one. People think they are depriving their dog if they don't feed them every time they want to be fed. I have come to realize that dogs are not choosy. They will eat almost anything and eat constantly if they were given the chance. It's our responsibility as their owners to make sure they eat the right food and the right amount.
I'm not sure if this argument will work, but it might if they have children. Ask them if they feed their child every time they want food. If they say no, ask them why. Then, try to turn it to their dog. You wouldn't feed a children every time they asked to eat because it wouldn't be good for their health. It's the same for a dog.
The same health issues a person who is overweight experiences is the same for a dog. Maybe more so because it will affect their ability to exercise and play.
Good luck with your friends!
